They both sport envy-inducing flowing locks when they're not cementing their supermodel status at the world's hottest style events.

But both Cara Delevingne and Miranda Kerr opted for daring new looks as they rocked the runway at the Chanel spring/summer '14 Paris Fashion Week presentation at the city's Grand Palais on Tuesday morning.

Ditching their long tresses, the models showcased dramatic futuristic short wigs as they strutted their stuff on the catwalk for the iconic French fashion house.

The girls' striking new appearances
provided a stark contrast against the classic lines and ladylike
tailoring created by German designer Karl Lagerfeld on the catwalk at
the French capital.

Featuring oversized pearls, elegant tweed and new takes on Chanel's iconic bag collection, the presentation featured ensembles that were well and truly worlds away from 21-year-old Cara's usual tomboy style.

While Cara and Miranda, 30, led the charge of supermodels strutting their stuff on the runway, it was an equally star-studded turnout on the front row of the hot-ticketed show.
